Developing a Tablet App for Dental Patient Enrollment

Our client, a leading software developer for dental clinics, sought to streamline and modernize their patient enrollment process for clients. Traditionally reliant on paper forms and manual data entry, the clinic faced inefficiencies that hindered patient experience and clinic operations. The objective was to develop a tablet app that would digitize the patient enrollment process, ensuring faster, more accurate, and seamless data handling.
